A very popular workshop will cover the basic principles of oil painting with regard to painting florals, and still lifes - fruits and vegetables and maybe even a donut or a few! Includes interesting and memorable discussions on composition, massing, building form, light and shadow: and depending on your own style, knowing when a work is finished (learning how to not overwork your painting). Douglas delivers sound principles of painting that are an incredible foundation for your painting, whether a beginner or seasoned artist

  • Paper Towels

  • Brushes- filberts- #2,4,6 maybe 8 or 10 rounds- in those sizes if you prefer round over filberts.
  • Rounds- in really small like #0,1, or 2- to be able to put in some detail and sign. A few throw away bristle brushes from hardware store in 1" and 2-2.5" sizes.
  • Canvases- Quantity: 2-3 5"x7", 2-3 8"x10", 2-3 10"x20" or 12"x16" or 16"x20" (or whatever size desired for larger paintings)
  • And anything else student needs to help them paint well and feel comfortable.
  • Please prime all canvas with a thin coat of thinned down Cad Red light and Permalba White to make a pink or light red tone on canvas (This can be done first thing in class if needed.)
  • Douglas has a “suitcase of supplies” he brings along which includes some recommended books, and some supplies in case a few students need a few items that are forgotten.
  • Douglas also will offer a “BASIC PAINT KIT” (while supplies last) which includes all the basic oils, brushes, palette knife, palette and canvas panels and medium for those who do not want to buy these supplies individually. You would need to bring some paper towels and rubber gloves. Price is $150 while supplies last. Please contact Douglas at least 2 weeks prior to the workshop to reserve your kit: mail@douglasdavid.com
David, Douglas

Douglas David has painted his way across the country, capturing the beauty and spirit of the things he loves - tranquil country landscapes, sunrises and sunsets on his favorite beaches, a simple pitcher of spring lilacs or peonies, a lemon, lime or a slice of watermelon on a checked tablecloth. Paintings that reflect comfort, warmth meaning and simplicity: similar to everything important to him - his close knit family, life-long friendships, creatively fulfilling work and giving his best. A recipient of numerous regional and national awards and honors, Douglas’ teaching is a way of giving back and sharing some of his journey with those who choose to study with him.
